Braden loves to "work". Whenever anyone is doing any sort of "job" he wants to be a part of it: cooking, dusting, putting things away, reading, writing, really anything. Here he is helping Dada with some mulch and mowing the lawn.

Rozy hasn't had her picture up on the blog recently so here is our sweet Rozy...

Bathtime fun

Busch Gardens

It is spring so here in Williamsburg that means that it is time to go to Busch Gardens. Braden has been asking about when Busch Gardens will open for the last two months so we were pretty excited to finally get to go. So much so that we went 4 times in a week and a half. Here are some of the highlights:

The train continues to be a favorite. We got to ride in the special caboose on one our trips last week.

Coleman LOVES to ride any ride they will let him on. He would ride the same ride over and over again.

A new addition to Busch this year is Sesame Street Forest of Fun. Braden loves all the new rides; especially the "big kid" Roller Coaster. It's the real deal... a big drop and everything! Braden loves to watch the characters from a distance but does not want to get too close...

Flag Football

Flag Football season has begun and Braden is very excited to watch Dada play. He was very intently watching the game and afterwards was concerned that they weren't wearing helmets. "Dada when you play football you need to wear helmets..." We didn't have the heart to tell him that this was not the NFL.

Coleman loved playing on the field turf.

Pre-game fun at the playground.

Coleman in the Snow

After naptime Coleman played in snow for the first time in his life!

He didn't know what to make of the snowman.

Snow Day

Last night Williamsburg actually got some snow that didn't melt immediately after falling to the ground.

Braden got out early to shovel the driveway so Dad could get out to work. Of course VDOT has not even attempted to plow any secondary roads so our driveway is the only clear driving surface that Bryce got to drive on until getting out to Route 199. Good thing his commute is only a couple of miles.

Braden also made a snow angel. He told me he needed to make a person in the snow and move his arms. (The stuff they remember from Christmas videos... amazing)

At lunchtime Bryce came home and we made a snowman on the back deck.

Coleman is One!

Coleman officially turned 1 on February 16th! He has taken his first steps and has finally slept through the night (though not consistently). Here are a couple of pictures of our little guy all grown up!

Fun times in Colonial WIlliamsburg

Occassionally we do actually get down to the Colonial area and enjoy nice weather and good times with friends and family. Here we are with Grandpa Dean and the Simones.
